What's wrong, in plain English

On some Porsche Macan vehicles, a cover on the fuel pump can rub against a nozzle on the fuel pump's filter flange. This contact may wear cracks into the flange over time, letting fuel leak out. A fuel leak on its own is one thing, but if it happens near something that could spark or ignite it, the leaking fuel raises the chance of a fire starting in the vehicle.

1. Check your vehicle's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Porsche dealer, or call Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
